Held in conjunction with the 16th Multi-Conference on InformationSociety, October 7-11, 2013, Ljubljana, Slovenia. (http://is.ijs.si/)

Scope and Topics----------------During the past years, other fields have used several subjects,methods and approaches of Theoretical Computer Science, and severalresults have been integrated into practical applications. Solutionsfor NP-hard problems, algorithmic-oriented AI and data miningprocedures, new models and methods in system biology andbioinformatics, automata theory approaches in software and hardwareverification, prospective new models of computation and futurecomputer architecture are good examples to buttress the abovestatement.

We set double aims as the scope of this conference: on one hand sidewe expect ideas and solutions from the field of Theoretical ComputerScience which have been directly applied in real world applications.On the other side we want to collect theoretical results based on somefruitful idea that may be useful to adopt for practical problems.

Papers presenting original research in conference topics are beingsought. Papers must be in English and provide sufficient details toallow the program committee to assess their merits. Submissions, aswell as final versions, are limited to 4 pages sharp and will bepublished in an Information Society multiconference proceeding.Revised versions of full papers will appear in post-conferenceproceedings published by the University of Primorska Press.

Instructions for preparing the papers can be downloaded fromConference Website.

Organized by University of Primorska, Institute Andrej Marušič, andFaculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies.

The phase transition is a phenomenon observed in mathematics and natural
sciences in many different contexts. It deals with a sudden change in
the properties of a large structure caused by altering a critical
parameter. The phase transition in random discrete structures (e.g.
random graphs, random graph processes, random satisfiability problems,
Ising/Potts model, percolation) has captured the attention of many
scientists in recent years.

The goal of the fall school is to provide advanced master students, PhD
students, and early stage postdocs, who are interested in random
discrete structures and related fields, the opportunities

- to learn the state of the art results in the study of the phase
transition in various random discrete structures;
- to understand modern proof techniques that have successfully been
applied to the study of phase transition and its critical behaviour;
- to meet fellow colleagues in their early research career, which
possibly results in their future collaboration.

On top of this scientific and educational achievement, young
participants can experience the research environment of TU Graz as a
candidate place for their future research, and establish contacts with
other participants for their future collaboration. The language of the
school is English.

The fall school is supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) within
the Doctoral Programme "Discrete Mathematics"at TU Graz and by the
European Science Foundation (ESF) within the Research Networking
Programme "Random Geometry of Large Interacting Systems and Statistical
Physics (RGLIS)".

LECTURERS:

The lectures of the fall school will be given by the two experts in the
study of phase transitions in random discrete structures:

The course is addressed to advanced master students, PhD students, and
early stage postdocs, who are interested in random discrete structures
and related fields. The total number of participants is limited to 35.
The course is free of charge.

There will be a limited amount of scholarships (of max. 500 Euro each)
available for PhD students or for advanced Master students in a field
related to the topics of the school. The scholarship is designed to
cover accommodation costs for the whole duration of stay.

APPLICATION:

Applications for participation only, with a short curriculum vitae and
scientific background, should be sent by 5 July 2013 to Sandra Wissler
<sandra.wissler@tugraz.at>

Applications for scholarship and participation, with curriculum vitae, a
short research statement, and a letter of recommendation (sent directly
by a thesis advisor or a renowned mathematician in the field), should be
sent by 5 July 2013 to Sandra Wissler

Tremendous advances in our ability to acquire, store and process data,
as well as the pervasive use of computers in general, have resulted in
a spectacular increase in the amount of data being collected. This
availability of high-quality data has led to major advances in both
science and industry. In general, society is becoming increasingly
data driven, and this trend is likely to continue in the coming years.

The increasing number of applications processing massive data means
that in general focus on algorithm efficiency is increasing. However,
the large size of the data, and/or the small size of many modern
computing devices, also means that issues such as memory hierarchy
architecture often play a crucial role in algorithm efficiency. Thus
the availability of massive data also means many new challenges for
algorithm designers.

The aim of the workshop on massive data algorithmics is to provide a
forum for researchers from both academia and industry interested in
algorithms for massive dataset problems. The scope of the workshop
includes both fundamental algorithmic problems involving massive data,
as well as algorithms for more specialized problems in, e.g.,
graphics, databases, statistics and bioinformatics. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

We invite submissions of extended abstracts (at most 10 pages not counting
references) of original research. Extended abstract should be submitted through
the EasyChair website by July 26. Authors will be notified about acceptance by
August 12, and final versions will be due on August 23. Accepted extended
abstracts will be collected in a booklet, which will be distributed at the
workshop. There will be no formal proceedings, so work presented at the
workshop can also be (or have been) presented at other conferences. An author
of each accepted abstract is expected to give a presentation of the abstract at
the workshop.

The workshop will take place on September 5, 2013 in Sophia Antipolis, France,
as part of ALGO 2013 immediately following the European Symposium on Algorithms
(ESA). Participants for MASSIVE should register through the on-line registration
on the ALGO registration webpage on http://algo2013.dakini.fr/ (registration
opens on June 18th). All researchers and industry people interested in massive
data algorithmics are encouraged to attend the workshop.

**********************************************************

The aim of the WRAWN workshop series is to study ways of capturing the
reality of wireless communication while maintaining both the
generality and feasibility of rigorous algorithmic development.

The goal of this year's WRAWN is to tackle a provocative question:
Is the study of wireless algorithms useful enough?

There will be no traditional presentations of specific technical
results. Instead, the presentations can be polemical (e.g., "graph
models are the tool of the devil!"), expository (e.g., "here are my
experiences integrating formal algorithm results into a real system")
or speculative (e.g., "we need to build a massive multi-institutional
testbed to systematically evaluate all major theoretical models...").

Plenty of time will be left for discussion and exploration of
collaboration opportunities. The goal is for attendees to leave with
new ideas, co-authors, and (hopefully) confidence in their work on
wireless algorithmics.

The meeting will be held at Concordia University in downtown Montreal,
from 9 to 5 on Sunday July 21.

Aims and Scope:
==============
Wireless Sensor Networks are nowadays an extended engineering technology for many
markets due to the great amount of their possibilities in collecting data from
complex environments and processing them for different purposes. Nevertheless, this
interest is not enough to apply this kind of networks as trustworthy solution for
many real-world environments, such as industrial processes and critical
infrastructures, where high reliability is required, together with other related key
aspects as energy, security and efficiency. Many companies could overcome their
reluctances if economic, reliable and easily deployed solutions are provided in this
field. In this scenario, the heuristics and computational intelligence play an
important role to solve many involved optimization problems, doing necessary the
research on advanced solutions that result in a successful product. In this sense,
there are many challenges, trends and open possibilities in this area that deserve
to be known. In this special issue, we seek original, high quality articles, clearly
focused on theoretical or practical aspects of the heuristics and mathematical
optimization methods for obtaining reliable and efficient wireless sensor networks,
including but not limited to the topics shown below.

Topics of Interest:
==================
The topics related to heuristics for reliable and efficient Wireless Sensor Networks
deployments that are relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to:

Papers must be tailored to the problem of the wireless sensor networks and
explicitly consider heuristics and mathematical optimization methods. The editors
maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special
issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be
considered for the issue. Authors should submit their manuscripts through Editorial
Manager http://www.editorialmanager.com/heur/, selecting "SI - HREWSN" as the
article type.
